For seabirds it means they have or should be found in that area: note other refs. Vag = Vagrant, Res/mig = Part of population migratory, Sum mig = Summer migrant, Win mig = Winter migrant, Spr/Aut mig = Passage migrant in Spring and Autumn, Intro = Introduced. Abundance R = rare, S = scarce, UC = uncommon, MC = moderately common, LC = locally common, C = common, VC = very common, A = abundant, P present. Colour coding applies only to one species on a particular list. eg. An abundance comment in red for the Brown Booby refers to the Ref # in Red for that species only. Alternate Island Names & alternate common Bird Names are recorded in two separate spreadsheet files. REFERENCES 1. Dumbacher, J.P., Iova, B.A., Mindell, D., Gibert, P., & Bozic, T. 2010.
